"The remote Ubuntu 23.04 / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
USN-6597-1 advisory.
- Puma is a web server for Ruby/Rack applications built for parallelism. Prior to version 6.4.2, puma
exhibited incorrect behavior when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies in a way that allowed HTTP
request smuggling. Fixed versions limits the size of chunk extensions. Without this limit, an attacker
could cause unbounded resource (CPU, network bandwidth) consumption. This vulnerability has been fixed in
versions 6.4.2 and 5.6.8. (CVE-2024-21647)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
